Hi all, I'm having some transmission issues on my '51 8N. After sitting for a couple of months, 2nd gear wouldn't work; wouldn't shift into 2nd. I took the transmission lid cover off to look at things, and now I'm having an issue getting it back on. My understanding is that the two shifter plates get lined up, the holes get lined up, so that the large pivot bolts on either side of the trans housing go through the holes. Right? I can get them installed like that, but the bottom plate, the 2nd/4th gear plate, just flops side to side, nothing holding it vertical. The knob on the end won't stay in the shift rod notch/cutout. If I back the screws out, I can get it to sit in the notch, but as soon as I tighten the screws up, it gets pushed out and won't go back in. Is it bent? I can't see anything that is in the way. I can move it to vertical position, verify the tractor is in neutral (moves back and forth freely), and install the transmission cover lid. When doing that, I can only shift in to Reverse, and then the transmission locks; can't get it back in to neutral or any other gear. When I take the lid back off, the bottom plate has fallen out of the notch, and down again and is not vertical, just floppy again. Very frustrated right now! Any tips/help is appreciated.
